Scotland’s Aquaculture Website

Scotland’s Aquaculture Website is a resource developed in partnership by Food Standards Scotland (FSS), Scottish Environmental Protection Area (SEPA), The Crown Estate (CE) and Marine Scotland (MS) to provide access to a range of aquaculture information from within Scotland.

FSS publish results from the Biotoxin, Phytoplankton and E.coli official control (OC) monitoring programmes on a weekly basis and the website serves as access to all historic shellfish monitoring results.

Data is fully searchable within the website and can also be downloaded to Excel format to allow user interrogation of results.

Scotland’s Aquaculture Website also enables spatial analysis due to the integrated mapping software. This function provides the user with the ability to view FSS classified shellfish harvesting areas, representative monitoring points and sample collection points, as well as the ability to overlay/compare these spatial layers with data from our other partner agencies.
